The voyage of Vasco da Gama to India (1497-1499) was one of the seminal events of the Renaissance period. An anonymous Journal
kept by a member of his fleet has long served as the main documentary source for accounts of this voyage. Strangely, there
has only been one English translation of this important document, published more than a century ago. This book provides a
new, updated English translation of the Journal with extensive editorial notes and appendices which encompass and reflect
changes in the historiography over the last century on Vasco da Gama and his first voyage. In doing so, it examines initial
Portuguese impressions when confronted by the cultures of Africa and India during this period

The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts
of exploration. The first series, which ran from 1847 to 1899, consists of 100 books containing published or previously unpublished
works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir Francis Drake, and covering voyages to the New World, to China and Japan,
to Russia and to Africa and India. Vasco da Gama (c. 1460-1524) was a Portuguese explorer who commanded the first European
expedition to sail directly to India. This voyage and his combination of force and diplomacy while in India was integral to
Portugal's success as a colonising power in the early sixteenth century. Translated and edited by E. G. Ravenstein, this volume
contains an anonymous journal which is the last surviving first-hand account of Vasco da Gama's historic voyage. Contemporary
diplomatic reports concerning the voyage are also included in this book

"Presents the travel experiences of Vasco da Gama, 1st Count of Vidigueira, c. 1460s – 24 December 1524), who was a Portuguese
explorer and the first European to reach India by sea. His initial voyage to India (1497–1499) was the first to link Europe
and Asia by an ocean route, connecting the Atlantic and the Indian oceans and therefore, the West and the Orient. Da Gama's
discovery of the sea route to India was significant and opened the way for an age of global imperialism and for the Portuguese
to establish a long-lasting colonial empire in Asia. Traveling the ocean route allowed the Portuguese to avoid sailing across
the highly disputed Mediterranean and traversing the dangerous Arabian Peninsula."--
